Abstract
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have attracted great research interest because of their widely tunable and unique electronic properties. The required atomic precision of GNRs can be realized via on-surface synthesis method. In this work, through a surface assisted reaction we have longitudinally fused the pyrene-based graphene nanoribbons (pGNR) of different lengths by a pentagon ring junction, and built a molecular junction structure on Au (111). The electronic properties of the structure are studied by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) combined with tight binding (TB) calculations. The pentagon ring junction shows a weak electronic coupling effect on graphene nanoribbons, which makes the electronic properties of the two different graphene nanoribbons connected by a pentagon ring junction analogous to type I semiconductor heterojunctions.
